I was raised to be very prejudice towards Hillary:) So I read this book in an effort to remove some of the stigmas I'd been indoctrinated with, but despite my attempt I find that I still do not believe what Senator Clinton says her intentions are, the book is mostly the continuation of her presidential race - defending the democrats and raging on the republicans (I'm personally registered independent so I wasn't taking sides but quickly got tired of her "woe is me attitude").
